Workday is Down

At 3:15 p.m. MST, our teams became aware of a global outage affecting Workday. This is a broader Workday service disruption, not an issue specific to Young Life’s Workday instance. Workday is investigating the issue and working to understand its impact. We will share additional information as it becomes available.

We know some of you are scheduled to submit hourly time sheets this afternoon. If you are unable to access Workday, please hold off on submitting your time sheet until service is restored. You do not need to take any additional action right now.

We are monitoring the situation and will share an update as soon as we know more. Thank you for your patience.
